A rare live recording of Dave Holland’s first and most experimental quartet.
Featuring the wildly creative frontline of Sam Rivers (on flute) and Anthony Braxton (who plays clarinet, bass saxophone, and alto saxophone in this clip).
Plus some “psychedelic” 1974 video editing.

History, Video
Modern Gospel has had a huge impact on jazz.
Not so coincidentally, Thomas Dorsy, one of its primary pioneers was living, working, and playing in Chicago at the same time as King Oliver, Louis Armstrong, and Bix Beiderbecke.
Of course, the music’s roots go way back before the 1920s.
A beautiful historical survey of the Spirituals tradition and how its impact is still felt and heard today.
